About Demolition High

Directed by Jim Wynorski, Demolition High leans on a strong ensemble — Corey Haim, Alan Thicke, Dick Van Patten — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1996.
